Uncarina Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 Paul, Thanks very much! I'm a big-time admirer of your A-6 builds; don't hesitate to keep me honest with mine! Cheers, Tom
P Stoner Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Your doing fine. Can't wait to see more. You had the right guy make your decals. Paul Uncarina 1
Tony T Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Great stuff. Co-author Peter Davies and I were in touch with Phil Waters in 1986, when compiling A-6 Intruder/Prowler for Ian Allan Publications' Modern Combat Aircraft series. Phil Waters wrote up some great stuff for the book. BTW, he called his pilot Brian Bryans "B2" (B-squared) Tony Edited May 4, 2014 by Tony T Uncarina 1

Guest Peterpools Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Tom Fantastic start on the Intruder, as I always appreciate the background history for the inspiration for the build. Keep 'em coming Peter
Uncarina Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 Great stuff. Co-author Peter Davies and I were in touch with Phil Waters in 1986, when compiling A-6 Intruder/Prowler for Ian Allan Publications' Modern Combat Aircraft series. Phil Waters wrote up some great stuff for the book. BTW, he called his pilot Brian Bryans "B2" (B-squared) Tony Tony, that's great! They are still in contact with each other, and when I asked Brian if any names were posted below the cockpit sill for this aircraft, he also asked Phil. I'm not used to getting this kind of info firsthand! Cheers, Tom Tony T 1
Uncarina Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 Tony, I just read what you posted. Thank you very much for sharing this! Reading about the events of that night from another perspective adds another dimension, and reinforces just what an amazing and harrowing experience they went through. Sincerely, Tom Tony T 1
Uncarina Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 Tony, I just ordered your book on Amazon; looking forward to reading it! Cheers, Tom Tony T 1
